ooohh!!! muz blog abt our LATE-NIGHT ADVENTURE here!! we're having group therapy every night, so there was dis one fine night, when we had grp therapy, n we happily locked our kitchen (which is our office as well) door to keep de kids out. n lo n behold! we forgot to bring de keys to de door out!!! how smart of us... ahaha... here's de timeline of wat happened:
9.30pm discovery of our "locked out" predicament
9.35pm attempted to pick lock of kitchen door using a hairpin
9.45pm attempt 1 was declared a failure
9.50pm attempted to break in through side door (using hairpin once
again)
10.00pm attempt 2 was declared a failure too
10.05pm discussed possibility of banging down side door wif our
combined strengths
10.10pm decided against suggestion as we had a nagging suspicion tt
our hosts wouldn't appreciate our efforts
10.15pm decided to call host-in-charge
10.20pm realized tt de m'sian telecommunication network system is
not working. damn! wth???!!!!
10.25pm decided to call operator to ask for locksmith number
10.30pm realized tt the phone network is really not working. wat's
wrong with de m'sian network???!!!
10.35pm decided to embark on PLAN B: to construct a long pole wif a
hook @ de end to "fish" out our key
10.40pm official commencement of PLAN B
10.55pm SUCCESS!!! managed to fish out a key
11.00pm realized tt we fished out de wrong key!!!!!! WTH??!!!!
11.05pm tried to fish for other key, which was in de keyhole of another
door connected to kitchen
11.10pm key dropped to de floor
11.15pm unable to reach key on floor cos kitchen sink and table were
blocking de pole
11.20pm we're NEARLY reaching de key!!! push de pole down
somemore towards de floor!!!
11.25pm *CRACK!!!!!* omg! we cracked de glass window pane!!! shit.

terminated
11.35pm called host-in-charge using S'PORE line... n got thr at last
11.40pm host-in-charge agreed to come down de next morning to open
door for us. PHEW!
11.45pm made a silent pact tt no one is to inform host-in-charge of
cracked window. SILENCE IS TO BE OBSERVED AT ALL
COST.
11.50pm bathe, debriefing of operation n zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
am currently happily slacking on de sofa wif my trusty notebook... enjoying life as i blog... aaaahhhh..... FINALLY i'm home in our beloved lion city! BUT only for de wkend... haiz... guess dis is wat they call shoot in and out - arrive in s'pore at 7+am dis morn n departing for penang once again at 9.30pm tmr... so happy tt i can finally sleep on my wonderful bed again! complete wif my fluffy pillow n soft comforter... aaahhhh... am sure tt i'll haf a great sleep tonite... compared to de hard bed, flat pillow n thin + porous blanket i haf in penang... dis is simply heaven!!! wheee..... altho i'm still a little pissed @ having to spend 190RM to travel to n fro s'pore juz to meet my lecturers for 3 hrs... duh. well, @ least i get to meet my family, sleep on my bed (for ONE night only!!! boohoo...) n watch my tv (we only got jang guem - da chang jing -for accompany in penang...)
so! how shall i sum up my past 2 wks in penang? hmm... can only say tt i got hit by kids (in de face), got my hairband pulled out by kids, got my knee bruised by kids, got screamed @ by kids n got more than a dozen mosquito stings on my legs (10 on my left n 3 on my right leg). other than tt, everything's been great! gd food + gd company + gd hosts. has been a gd choice to come to penang. altho, sometimes i get quite sick of having to socialize wif so many pple... haiz... of cos being such gd hosts, they often bring us out during de wkends n treat us to meals... which is wonderful!!! but extremely tiring as well... i can be quite unsocial @ times n i really need my personal space!!! no time for me to slack, wake up late n stone... activities which i deem as extremely therapeutic n relaxing... so instead to resting during de wkends, de programs planned for us throut de wkend often makes me UNrefreshed @ de start of a new wk... haiz... guess my body's not built for de "work hard n play hard" motto... tink it's more suited for "work little, play some n slack hard"... oh well...
tink i'm feeling a little more lost now tt treatment has begun... not sure if wat i've done is appropriate n beneficial for de children. i definitely HOPE it is. really feel abit like being thrown into deep water to drown... ahaha... wif NO lifeguards to save me! haiz... guess i shld really learn how to swim before time runs out.
Caution: This is going to be a very very long post.
yo pple! finally i'm blogging again! wahaha... muz understand tt me canNOT blog under stress, n de last few wks haf been hell. haiz... n straight after de stupid conference, had to rush over to penang de next day. *suffocated* nway, sid dear, if u're reading dis, sara may haf told u by now our horrible q&a session.. haiz... in short: our research was skewed n not representative - which was exactly wat we wrote in our limitations! duh. but de CDU person HAD to harp on tt fact OVER THE MICROPHONE!! ggrrr... so we're like left to defend ourselves wif paper plates while they hurled knives n spears at us. haiz... (obviously i'm juz being figurative, but de actual situation wasn't much far off). so OBVIOUSLY, we din get de best paper prize... let's observe one minute's silence to mourn de horrible experience. hopefully i'll not develop some phobia of conferences (conferencophobia??!!!)
nway, moving on to happier topics. am now happily ensconced in a chair at starbucks!! where it's de ONLY place we can get wireless connection. apparently our bungalow was too "ulu" for pple to have wireless tt we can "steal"... heh... have decided tt i shall blog on ms word 1st, den copy n paste to blogger when i get connection. tink we're really isolated fr de rest of de world!! wah...
Departure:
being de aunties tt we r, we all got so excited on de prospect of taking SIA flight to penang. so was happily chit chatting away while walking to our airport gate, which was gate 33. so there goes four chiobus (puke? it's de truth wad! heh...) waddling happily to our gates. "wat's our gate no. ah?" "gate 33 lor" "oh..." *looks up n sees gate 50* "so not yet reach la... shld be further down rite?" happily walk n talk summore. *looks up n sees gate 53* "it's right at de end la hor?" "hmm.... tink so la. shld be lor." happily walk summore. *looks up n sees gate 57, 58, 59 n 60... n den DEAD END* "eh? where's gate 33??" "shit! we walk wrong direction izzit?" "har? not juz walk straight den reach le meh?" "shit! 20 mins to take off!" *starts running back fr where we came fr* *Airport PA system: Last call for SQ198 going to Penang. Passengers please proceed to boarding gate NOW." *frantic rushing n scampering* LACTIC ACID ATTACK + decrease PULMONARY function commences. finally discovers tt gate 33 is located around a right turn from the main corridor. phew. Lesson learnt: Don't just talk n walk straight. Look out for signboards!
Arrival: yay!! we've reached Penang!! was a wonderful flight! but regretful tt it was too short a flight (50mins) for me to completely navigate their in-flight entertainment system (so many movies to watch! but no time... sad.). out from de airplane n someone says, "i need to go toilet!" okie! wait lor. everyone present already? let's go! our hosts r waiting for us at de arrival hall. eh, which way to go ah? hmm... dunno. juz walk STRAIGHT lor! (obviously, we haf impaired learning abilities. duh.) wah.. actually de penang airport not bad also wor! quite a lot of shops ah... aiyah... where to go? all de passenger crowd disappear liao... anyhow walk la... *10mins later* yay! we found de baggage collection point! collect luggage n see everyone gg to security checkpoint. let's follow de crowd! wait! how come after security checkpoint is the arrival gates already ah? no need to chop passport meh? *security guard signals us to put luggage on x-ray machine* "erm... sorry ah... no need to go thr customs ah?" "customs is THERE la!!" *guard points to a row of counters on our far left* "oops!!" am sooooo amazed tt we nearly became ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!! omg. cld haf juz entered m'sia w/o chopping our passports lor....
Last words: Food is damn gd here. BUT we're working an average of 15hrs/day!! wth?! cos got so much paperwork n documentation to do!!! argh! n de autistic children get damn weird n scary at times! abit afraid of having babies in future... ahaha... hope we can get more free time next wk!!
